Well, I don't know. But as a matter of fact, the Boomerang language is
much closer to your library in spirit (and possibly techniques) than any
of the other projects you mention. First hit at Google for "Boomerang
functional programming" -> http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~harmony/

Also, it does have parsers and pretty printers as one application
instance. So there is potential for confusion.

Best,
Janis.
